This video uncovers the often mysterious and unapproachable work of our senior lawmakers: the Attorney General, Magistrates and Judges who have the ultimate say over the severity of criminal sanctions. The program also goes inside the most notorious institutions such as HM Prison Pentridge, to give a unique and first-hand account into the sentencing and punishment of criminals.
